Quick question

[Leo]

Well as im selling my motor giving it a little service, got to pick up the new spark plugs , oil and oil filter in a min.

Just a quick question, will i need to jack it to access the sump plug and oil filter underneath on a sax 1.1 1997?

Or use a pit if you have access to one.

I tried to slide under me vtr front yesterday and it was a bit of a squeeze. In theory you could probabley do the oil filter but will end up with it all over you face lol :)

Lol, i'll just move my face out the way when its on the last few screws, and place the container there:panic:

[Danr]

lol, well you can try it dude :) One way to possibly do it is park it on a kurb. The front will be rasied and you can then do the work, :)

have you not even got a scissor jack somewhere?!

[Danr]

Im pretty sure your car will have one under the boot too :)

I have a jack, was just asking to save myself a few mins looking for the oil filter. some cars can be done without jacking it apparently, so thought it double check

[Danr]

Fair enough, get some pics when your finished if you get covered in oil, been a while since i had a good laugh :)

drive it onto some planks of wood or whatever.

If i acn change the oil on my vts lowered 40mm and dimma bumper by driving it onto my 2.5" ramps then you can do the same with a high 1.1

I can do it without jacking after having a look. Dont have the tool today so will be doing it tomoz. Changed the plugs today
